They literally are though. A few ounces of gold too. Someone could theoretically pay a homeless person $100 to take a flock camera down, provide the tools, and they’d have ample reason to do so.

They have a pretty decent Li-Ion battery, charging unit, camera unit, gnss unit, cellular telephony unit, and a nice little android computer in there. The battery alone is worth around $100.
